Output Sequence Overview
Output Sequence Editor
This programming selection allows you to program the scan engine to output data 
(when scanning more than one symbol) in whatever order your application 
requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the 
Default Sequence symbol programs the scan engine to the Universal values, 
shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you want to delete or clear all for-
mats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.
Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code 
length, and character match(es) your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric 
symbols (inside back cover) to read these options. You must hold the trigger while 
reading each bar code in the sequence.
To Add an Output Sequence
a. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence,page 51).
b. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page 171, find the symbology to which you 
want to apply the output sequence format. Locate the Hex value for that 
symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart 
(inside back cover).
c. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be 
acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit data length from the 
Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a 
universal number, indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you 
must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted characters as 
part of the length (unless using 9999).
d. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page 174, find the Hex 
value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the 
Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents 
the ASCII characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)
e. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save 
to save your entries.
